The Old Grey Whistle Test

The Old Grey Whistle Test was a British music television program hosted by Bob Harris and broadcast on BBC 2 between September 21st, 1971, and December 31st, 1987. Unlike Top Of The Pops on BBC 1, the program focused primarily on non-chart music.

The Runaways appeared in episode 7.6 shortly before the British leg of their European School Days tour in October 1977.
